we recommend sending used batteries to a designated
collection point.
Remove batteries if thermometer will not be used for more
than two months.
Do not immerse the thermometer in water or expose it to
direct sunlight for a long period of time.
Do not subject the thermometer to vibration or impact.
The normal body temperature varies from person to person.
Tracking a person's body temperature will help determine
whether they have a fever.
Wait at least an hour after hard exercise or a hot bath to take
body temperature. Wait at least 20 minutes after light
exercise, you smoke, eat, drink hot or cold liquid.
Clean the thermometer probe after each use.
Do not use the thermometer on newborns or for continuous
temperature monitoring purposes.
Do not use the thermometer for any other purpose not
specified in this instruction manual. Follow instructions in the
"Measurement Process" section and carefully operate the
thermometer when measuring temperature.
Do not immerse the thermometer in water or other liquid, as
it is not waterproof. Clean and disinfect the thermometer as
described in the "Cleaning and Disinfection" section of this
user manual.
Attention

Warning
Do not touch the tip of the temperature probe, on which a
precise temperature sensor resides.
Keep the temperature probe clean to ensure accurate
readings.
Before measuring the temperature from the ear canal, clean
any excessive earwax.
The ambient temperature must not be too high or low. To
ensure accurate readings, keep the thermometer at room
temperature for more than 30 minutes before use.
Do not use the thermometer under an ambient temperature
higher than 40°C (104°F) or lower than 10°C (50°F), which is
beyond the operating temperature range of the thermometer.
Risk of pollution! We recommend disposing thermometer at
local garbage site or send it back to us.
2 AAA batteries of 1.5V are the only replaceable accessories
of the thermometer. Please do not use the batteries of other
voltages or specifications.

Body Temperature Basics
Generally, you can take a body temperature on the forehead, in ear
canal, under armpit, in mouth, or in anus. The temperature
measured at different parts of the body may differ slightly.
The normal body temperature range slightly varies with age and
gender. Generally, newborns or children have higher body
temperature than adults, and adults have higher body temperature
than the elderly. Women's body temperature are appropriately
0.3°C higher than men's.
Normal body temperature varies by the time of day and is also affected
by external factors.
The body temperature of an individual is the lowest between 2:00 a.m.
and 4:00 a.m. and the highest between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. An
individual's body temperature typically changes by less than 1°C each
day.

Product Description
Overview
Infrared Thermometer measures body temperature based on the
infrared energy emitted from the eardrum or the forehead. Users
can quickly get measurement results after properly positioning the
temperature probe in the ear canal or forehead.
Structure
The thermometer consists of a shell, an LCD, a measure button, a
beeper, an infrared temperature sensor, and a Microprocessor.
Operating principle
The infrared temperature sensor collects infrared energy emitted
by the eardrum or the skin surface. After being focused by a lens,
the energy is converted into a temperature reading by the
thermopiles and measurement circuits.
Intended use
The AccuMed Dual Mode Digital Infrared Thermometer is
intended for the measurement of human body temperatures. The
forehead mode is indicated for use by people of all ages and the
eardrum mode is indicated for use by people above three months
old.
Contraindications
Do not use the thermometer if the ear is infected with otitis or
suppuration.
